Intersectionality is explicitly oriented towards transformation, building coalitions among different groups, and working towards social justice.

Intersectionality holds that the classical conceptualizations of oppression within society do not act independently of each other. Instead, these forms of oppression interrelate, creating a system of oppression that reflects the "intersection" of multiple forms of discrimination. Oppression such as sexism, classism, racism, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and belief-based bigotry.

Intersectionality examines power and oppression; the forms they take and how they work systematically in our society. Intersectionality also examines both power and privilege; how we identify our power and privilege and use it to rewrite societal perception. Join us to discuss intersectionality and how can we better support and empower each other and other minority groups within this system.
